About the Author:
The modern American poet Elizabeth Bishop (1911-79) received the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Nation Book Critics' Circle Award, and many other distinctions and accolades for her work.
Review:
"The extraordinary thing about Miss Bishop is that she is both a public and a private poet, or perhaps it is that her poetry by its very existence renders obsolete these after all artificial distinctions (artificial insofar as poetry is concerned). The private self--the quirkiness, the rightness of vision, the special sights and events (a moose, a filling station) that have intrigued Miss Bishop to the point of poetry--melts imperceptibly into the large utterance, the grandeur of poetry, which, because it remains rooted in everyday particulars, never sounds 'grand,' but is as quietly convincing as honest speech."--John Ashbery
"For over forty years, Elizabeth Bishop's immaculately wrought poems have earned her the reputation of a poet's poet. With its calmly circumspect being and elegant finish, deploying space in formally perfect patterns, each small portfolio of work resembles classical architecture."--Herbert Leibowitz, The New York Times Book Review

Book Description Original Wraps. Condition: Near Fine. No Jacket. First Edition. Near fine first printing in publisher's wrappers. A softback original. The book is clean, tight and unread. The covers are unmarked and crisp. No obvious flaws apart from a very minimal knock to the top corner which is barely noticeable. A rather fragile book that is now 38 years old. Very scarce in this condition. As an enthusiastic collector myself I make every effort to provide a high level of service. Enquiries welcomed. Paypal accepted. Seller Inventory # 006228
